I always wondered where those talking points originated from. Now we know, you can always count on Ari to carry the propaganda message around. After all that was his job under the illegitimate Bush administration.

I bet they paid big money to get those talking points. Probably to one of those Contractors, like HB Gary, or Stratfor.

But it was sort of creepy to see him use what we've seen for so long on the internet and realize where they came from.
